Head accidentally shot himself at his ranch in Texas on Friday, November 15.
The country singer’s agent, Trey Newman, told Head was hunting in the woods by himself when he received one bullet to the stomach around 4-4:30 p.m. local time.
The gunshot wound hit his navel area but reportedly managed to miss all of his vital organs.
Newman said: "The bullet is lodged in some fatty tissue, and the only way it could have happened is if it travelled through something else."
He also confirmed that it "was not self-inflicted".
The accident took place at Head's Texas ranch.
According to Misty, Head had been alone at the ranch when the incident happened.
She said: "It was not his hunting rifle and no nobody shot him.
"He was out of the vehicle reaching in to grab his 22 when he grabbed it the 22 came out of its holster and hit the exterior of the Jeep just right and went off.
"Sundance said it happened so fast and he could see the bullet dislodging."
According to the Facebook post update, Misty said her husband didn't have his phone on him at the time of the shooting accident.
She added: "He took off down the driveway out to the main road to flag a car down for help.
"10 cars later someone turned around to help and called 911. Now this is what he has told me … he is heavily medicated at the moment. He’s so lucky and grateful to be alive."
She also revealed that the doctors decided not to remove the bullet.
